wow, the 2/3:1/3 clause is a bad idea. Good intentions, but bad execution. This. --- Isaac and Princess Kumatora for SSB4! SSBB Mains: Zelda, Peach, Lucas, Ness FastFalcon sure showed us his moves in the Guru Contest! |

From: MoogleKupo141 | #348 More like the majority of people determin are good. Better games get better reviews from the majority of people. Board 8 opinions shouldn't sway the total seedings when B8 has kind of... odd tastes in gaming tbh. Best thing is most of the cult games here will be knocked out first round to higher seeds, so its all good --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/Albion+Hero.png FastFalcon05 sure knows how to fill out a Guru Contest bracket better than I! |

From: KleenexTissue50 | #349 This I agree isn't good to use. People will just spam low ratings on games they don't like (like they already do) to hurt their seeding. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/Albion+Hero.png FastFalcon05 sure knows how to fill out a Guru Contest bracket better than I! |

Nominating obvious "joke" games (i.e. low rated or extremely obscure
games with silly names) will invalidate all of your nominations. Unlike
the Character Battle, we actually want users to decide the best game of
all time, and Big Rigs just doesn't fit. oh snap bacon steppin up. i like this User nominations will count for 1/3 of the bracket seeding; the other 2/3 will be based on professional review scores and GameFAQs user rating and review scores. Ehhhhhh not too keen on this (probably should be the other way around if you want to implement the second part), but I'm too excited now And with Bacon taking this pretty seriously....1v1 is looking very likely! god the boner just tore straight through my pants --- Moltar Status: yessssssss all hail FastFalcon the king of the guru |

What exactly is wrong with the 1/3:2/3s thing? So we won't get a bunch
of obscure crap that would get quadrupled by OoT and FF7. If you look at the Gamerankings top 10, there's only one game that's out of place on there. GameFAQs doesn't deviate from the norm as much as you'd think. --- FastFalcon is in my sig. How can this be. http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b146/KleenexTissue501/Saturn.gif |

If a SH game got in, it could very well do as bad as Adventure. The

My 1/10 holds just as much credibility as your 10. In all honesty it
gets like a 0.4/10, but I can't go to 0. The .4 is from Aeris' theme
and One Winged Angel, the rest of the music is tripe and the other
factors that make a decent game are bile. Gameplay, graphics, story,
couldn't stand any of it. --- JUSTICE FOR FD I use to worry about a McCain presidency but after playing some Fallout 3 I feel I could survive well enough. - ISS |

Skee-Ball in a heartbeat. You'd be hard pressed to find 1 out of 10
people who have never played a game of skee-ball. Now compare that to
the 1 in 1,000 (is that too generous?) that has played Shadow Hearts. --- If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person? [HERO'S PLUNGE] http://img.imgcake.com//wesker.gif |

And I don't care about MGS4 in this contest. I know it won't win, so I
have no interest in its progress. It deserves nothing more than winning
this (and ever other games contest), so as long as I know it won't win,
I just reject its presence. I have two goals: Ensure FF7 doesn't win,
and try and get PES in to the contest. --- JUSTICE FOR FD I use to worry about a McCain presidency but after playing some Fallout 3 I feel I could survive well enough. - ISS |
